Rosamund Clifford

Did you know that in the twelfth century, it's thought that nunneries sometimes supplied brothels with girls? Bizarre and disturbing fact of the day.

Anyway, I'm currently working with Mark Bigelow on a project to do with Rosamund Clifford, mistress of Henry II. These photos are from our first shoot, in which we tried to imagine her story and begin to embody her character. Mark is a great photographer and has captured the light beautifully, so there are lots of photos to choose from - here is a selection. Thanks Mark!
